If I've had my way I'd leave here today I'd leave in a hurry I'd find me a place where I could stay and not have to worry I'd find me a spot on some mountain top with no one around me With valleys and streams and birds in the trees and lakes that surround me A place I could use a place I could lose these Tennessee blues [ piano-dobro ] A place to forget all my regrets and keep just a right time A place I could sleep with nothing but peace and feel free an all time A place I could use a place I could lose these Tennessee blues A place I could lose these Tennessee blues
